CPS RF Personal Response Systems (clickers)

We have purchased 64 each Classroom Performance System radio frequency personal response systems, in 2 sets of 32, each set with its own base station.  Known as "clickers" for short, they can be checked out from Academic Technology for classroom/meeting use.  They are used to ask questions of your class, solicit responses by a simple select/enter operation, then show the results as a histogram to the class.  The idea is to generate interest, focus a discussion, and verify that key concepts have been understood in a fun, immediate way. 

The clickers are produced by a company called eInstruction, and require CPS software installation.  We have site licensed the CPS software for District use (PC or Mac).

You may download and install the CPS software on your own system.  Click here to login and download (use your Palomar email address and email password to login).

Click here to reserve the personal response system.  You may reserve for one-time meetings, or for each meeting per semester.  You must attend Academic Technology training on the use of the clickers before checking them out.  To obtain training, call ext. 2341, or email hdavis@palomar.edu.
